XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes

XML Schema: Datatypes is part 2 of the specification of the XML Schema language. It defines facilities for defining datatypes to be used in XML Schemas as well as other XML specifications. The datatype language, which is itself represented in XML 1.0, provides a superset of the capabilities found in XML 1.0 document type definitions (DTDs) for specifying datatypes on elements and attributes.

3 Built-in datatypes

Each built-in datatype in this specification (both primitive and derived) can be uniquely addressed via a URI Reference constructed as follows:

the base URI is the URI of the XML Schema namespace
the fragment identifier is the name of the datatype

For example, to address the int datatype, the URI is:

http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#int

Additionally, each facet definition element can be uniquely addressed via a URI constructed as follows:

the base URI is the URI of the XML Schema namespace
the fragment identifier is the name of the facet

For example, to address the maxInclusive facet, the URI is:

http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#maxInclusive

Additionally, each facet usage in a built-in datatype definition can be uniquely addressed via a URI constructed as follows:

the base URI is the URI of the XML Schema namespace
the fragment identifier is the name of the datatype, followed by a period (".") followed by the name of the facet

For example, to address the usage of the maxInclusive facet in the definition of int, the URI is:

http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#int.maxInclusive

3.1 Namespace considerations

The built-in datatypes defined by this specification are designed to be used with the XML Schema definition language as well as other XML specifications. To facilitate usage within the XML Schema definition language, the built-in datatypes in this specification have the namespace name:

http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema

To facilitate usage in specifications other than the XML Schema definition language, such as those that do not want to know anything about aspects of the XML Schema definition language other than the datatypes, each built-in datatype is also defined in the namespace whose URI is:

http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-datatypes

This applies to both built-in primitive and built-in derived datatypes.

Each user-derived datatype is also associated with a unique namespace. However, user-derived datatypes do not come from the namespace defined by this specification; rather, they come from the namespace of the schema in which they are defined (see XML Representation of Schemas in [XML Schema Part 1: Structures]).

The primitive datatypes defined by this specification are described below. For each datatype, the value space and lexical space are defined, constraining facets which apply to the datatype are listed and any datatypes derived from this datatype are specified.

primitive datatypes can only be added by revisions to this specification.

3.2.1 string

[Definition:]  The string datatype represents character strings in XML. The value space of string is the set of finite-length sequences of characters (as defined in [XML 1.0 (Second Edition)]) that match the Char production from [XML 1.0 (Second Edition)]. A character is an atomic unit of communication; it is not further specified except to note that every character has a corresponding Universal Character Set code point, which is an integer.

NOTE: Many human languages have writing systems that require child elements for control of aspects such as bidirectional formating or ruby annotation (see [Ruby] and Section 8.2.4 Overriding the bidirectional algorithm: the BDO element of [HTML 4.01]). Thus, string, as a simple type that can contain only characters but not child elements, is often not suitable for representing text. In such situations, a complex type that allows mixed content should be considered. For more information, see Section 5.5 Any Element, Any Attribute of [XML Schema Language: Part 2 Primer].

NOTE: As noted in ordered, the fact that this specification does not specify an order-relation for string does not preclude other applications from treating strings as being ordered.

3.2.1.1 Constraining facets

string has the following constraining facets:

length
minLength
maxLength
pattern
enumeration
whiteSpace

3.2.1.2 Derived datatypes

The following built-in datatypes are derived from string:

normalizedString

3.2.2 boolean

[Definition:]  boolean has the value space required to support the mathematical concept of binary-valued logic: {true, false}.

3.2.2.1 Lexical representation

An instance of a datatype that is defined as boolean can have the following legal literals {true, false, 1, 0}.

3.2.2.2 Canonical representation

The canonical representation for boolean is the set of literals {true, false}.

3.2.2.3 Constraining facets

boolean has the following constraining facets:

pattern
whiteSpace

3.2.3 decimal

[Definition:]  decimal represents arbitrary precision decimal numbers. The value space of decimal is the set of the values i 10^-n, where i and n are integers such that n >= 0. The order-relation on decimal is: x < y iff y - x is positive.

[Definition:]   The value space of types derived from decimal with a value for totalDigits of p is the set of values i 10^-n, where n and i are integers such that p >= n >= 0 and the number of significant decimal digits in i is less than or equal to p.

[Definition:]   The value space of types derived from decimal with a value for fractionDigits of s is the set of values i 10^-n, where i and n are integers such that 0 <= n <= s.

NOTE: All minimally conforming processors must support decimal numbers with a minimum of 18 decimal digits (i.e., with a totalDigits of 18). However, minimally conforming processors may set an application-defined limit on the maximum number of decimal digits they are prepared to support, in which case that application-defined maximum number must be clearly documented.

3.2.3.1 Lexical representation

decimal has a lexical representation consisting of a finite-length sequence of decimal digits (#x30-#x39) separated by a period as a decimal indicator. If totalDigits is specified, the number of digits must be less than or equal to totalDigits. If fractionDigits is specified, the number of digits following the decimal point must be less than or equal to the fractionDigits. An optional leading sign is allowed. If the sign is omitted, "+" is assumed. Leading and trailing zeroes are optional. If the fractional part is zero, the period and following zero(es) can be omitted. For example: -1.23, 12678967.543233, +100000.00, 210.

3.2.3.2 Canonical representation

The canonical representation for decimal is defined by prohibiting certain options from the Lexical representation (3.2.3.1). Specifically, the preceding optional "+" sign is prohibited. The decimal point is required. Leading and trailing zeroes are prohibited subject to the following: there must be at least one digit to the right and to the left of the decimal point which may be a zero.

3.2.3.3 Constraining facets

decimal has the following constraining facets:

totalDigits
fractionDigits
pattern
whiteSpace
enumeration
maxInclusive
maxExclusive
minInclusive
minExclusive

3.2.3.4 Derived datatypes

The following built-in datatypes are derived from decimal:

integer

3.2.4 float

[Definition:]  float corresponds to the IEEE single-precision 32-bit floating point type [IEEE 754-1985]. The basic value space of float consists of the values m 2^e, where m is an integer whose absolute value is less than 2^24, and e is an integer between -149 and 104, inclusive. In addition to the basic value space described above, the value space of float also contains the following special values: positive and negative zero, positive and negative infinity and not-a-number. The order-relation on float is: x < y iff y - x is positive. Positive zero is greater than negative zero. Not-a-number equals itself and is greater than all float values including positive infinity.

A literal in the lexical space representing a decimal number d maps to the normalized value in the value space of float that is closest to d in the sense defined by [Clinger, WD (1990)]; if d is exactly halfway between two such values then the even value is chosen.

3.2.4.1 Lexical representation

float values have a lexical representation consisting of a mantissa followed, optionally, by the character "E" or "e", followed by an exponent. The exponent must be an integer. The mantissa must be a decimal number. The representations for exponent and mantissa must follow the lexical rules for integer and decimal. If the "E" or "e" and the following exponent are omitted, an exponent value of 0 is assumed.

The special values positive and negative zero, positive and negative infinity and not-a-number have lexical representations 0, -0, INF, -INF and NaN, respectively.

For example, -1E4, 1267.43233E12, 12.78e-2, 12 and INF are all legal literals for float.

3.2.4.2 Canonical representation

The canonical representation for float is defined by prohibiting certain options from the Lexical representation (3.2.4.1). Specifically, the exponent must be indicated by "E". Leading zeroes and the preceding optional "+" sign are prohibited in the exponent. For the mantissa, the preceding optional "+" sign is prohibited and the decimal point is required. For the exponent, the preceding optional "+" sign is prohibited. Leading and trailing zeroes are prohibited subject to the following: number representations must be normalized such that there is a single digit to the left of the decimal point and at least a single digit to the right of the decimal point.

3.2.4.3 Constraining facets

float has the following constraining facets:

pattern
enumeration
whiteSpace
maxInclusive
maxExclusive
minInclusive
minExclusive

3.2.5 double

[Definition:]  The double datatype corresponds to IEEE double-precision 64-bit floating point type [IEEE 754-1985]. The basic value space of double consists of the values m 2^e, where m is an integer whose absolute value is less than 2^53, and e is an integer between -1075 and 970, inclusive. In addition to the basic value space described above, the value space of double also contains the following special values: positive and negative zero, positive and negative infinity and not-a-number. The order-relation on double is: x < y iff y - x is positive. Positive zero is greater than negative zero. Not-a-number equals itself and is greater than all double values including positive infinity.

A literal in the lexical space representing a decimal number d maps to the normalized value in the value space of double that is closest to d; if d is exactly halfway between two such values then the even value is chosen. This is the best approximation of d ([Clinger, WD (1990)], [Gay, DM (1990)]), which is more accurate than the mapping required by [IEEE 754-1985].

3.2.5.1 Lexical representation

double values have a lexical representation consisting of a mantissa followed, optionally, by the character "E" or "e", followed by an exponent. The exponent must be an integer. The mantissa must be a decimal number. The representations for exponent and mantissa must follow the lexical rules for integer and decimal. If the "E" or "e" and the following exponent are omitted, an exponent value of 0 is assumed.

The special values positive and negative zero, positive and negative infinity and not-a-number have lexical representations 0, -0, INF, -INF and NaN, respectively.

For example, -1E4, 1267.43233E12, 12.78e-2, 12 and INF are all legal literals for double.

3.2.5.2 Canonical representation

The canonical representation for double is defined by prohibiting certain options from the Lexical representation (3.2.5.1). Specifically, the exponent must be indicated by "E". Leading zeroes and the preceding optional "+" sign are prohibited in the exponent. For the mantissa, the preceding optional "+" sign is prohibited and the decimal point is required. For the exponent, the preceding optional "+" sign is prohibited. Leading and trailing zeroes are prohibited subject to the following: number representations must be normalized such that there is a single digit to the left of the decimal point and at least a single digit to the right of the decimal point.

3.2.5.3 Constraining facets

double has the following constraining facets:

pattern
enumeration
whiteSpace
maxInclusive
maxExclusive
minInclusive
minExclusive

3.2.6 duration

[Definition:]   duration represents a duration of time. The value space of duration is a six-dimensional space where the coordinates designate the Gregorian year, month, day, hour, minute, and second components defined in 5.5.3.2 of [ISO 8601], respectively. These components are ordered in their significance by their order of appearance i.e. as year, month, day, hour, minute, and second.

3.2.6.1 Lexical representation

The lexical representation for duration is the [ISO 8601] extended format PnYn MnDTnH nMnS, where nY represents the number of years, nM the number of months, nD the number of days, 'T' is the date/time separator, nH the number of hours, nM the number of minutes and nS the number of seconds. The number of seconds can include decimal digits to arbitrary precision.

The values of the Year, Month, Day, Hour and Minutes components are not restricted but allow an arbitrary integer. Similarly, the value of the Seconds component allows an arbitrary decimal. Thus, the lexical representation of duration does not follow the alternative format of 5.5.3.2.1 of [ISO 8601].

An optional preceding minus sign ('-') is allowed, to indicate a negative duration. If the sign is omitted a positive duration is indicated. See also ISO 8601 Date and Time Formats (D).

For example, to indicate a duration of 1 year, 2 months, 3 days, 10 hours, and 30 minutes, one would write: P1Y2M3DT10H30M. One could also indicate a duration of minus 120 days as: -P120D.

Reduced precision and truncated representations of this format are allowed provided they conform to the following:

If the number of years, months, days, hours, minutes, or seconds in any expression equals zero, the number and its corresponding designator may be omitted. However, at least one number and its designator must be present.
The seconds part may have a decimal fraction.
The designator 'T' shall be absent if all of the time items are absent. The designator 'P' must always be present.

For example, P1347Y, P1347M and P1Y2MT2H are all allowed; P0Y1347M and P0Y1347M0D are allowed. P-1347M is not allowed although -P1347M is allowed. P1Y2MT is not allowed.

3.2.6.2 Order relation on duration

In general, the order-relation on duration is a partial order since there is no determinate relationship between certain durations such as one month (P1M) and 30 days (P30D). The order-relation of two duration values x and y is x < y iff s+x < s+y for each qualified dateTime s in the list below. These values for s cause the greatest deviations in the addition of dateTimes and durations. Addition of durations to time instants is defined in Adding durations to dateTimes (E).

1696-09-01T00:00:00Z
1697-02-01T00:00:00Z
1903-03-01T00:00:00Z
1903-07-01T00:00:00Z

The following table shows the strongest relationship that can be determined between example durations. The symbol <> means that the order relation is indeterminate. Note that because of leap-seconds, a seconds field can vary from 59 to 60. However, because of the way that addition is defined in Adding durations to dateTimes (E), they are still totally ordered.

	Relation
P1Y	> P364D	<> P365D				<> P366D	< P367D
P1M	> P27D	<> P28D	<> P29D		<> P30D	<> P31D	< P32D
P5M	> P149D	<> P150D	<> P151D	<> P152D		<> P153D	< P154D

Implementations are free to optimize the computation of the ordering relationship. For example, the following table can be used to compare durations of a small number of months against days.

	Months	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	...
Days	Minimum	28	59	89	120	150	181	212	242	273	303	334	365	393	...
Days	Maximum	31	62	92	123	153	184	215	245	276	306	337	366	397	...

3.2.6.3 Facet Comparison for durations

In comparing duration values with minInclusive, minExclusive, maxInclusive and maxExclusive facet values indeterminate comparisons should be considered as "false".

3.2.6.4 Totally ordered durations

Certain derived datatypes of durations can be guaranteed have a total order. For this, they must have fields from only one row in the list below and the time zone must either be required or prohibited.

year, month
day, hour, minute, second

For example, a datatype could be defined to correspond to the [SQL] datatype Year-Month interval that required a four digit year field and a two digit month field but required all other fields to be unspecified. This datatype could be defined as below and would have a total order.

&lt;simpleType name='SQL-Year-Month-Interval'&gt;
    &lt;restriction base='duration'&gt;
      &lt;pattern value='P\p{Nd}{4}Y\p{Nd}{2}M'/&gt;
    &lt;/restriction&gt;
&lt;/simpleType&gt;

3.2.6.5 Constraining facets

duration has the following constraining facets:

pattern
enumeration
whiteSpace
maxInclusive
maxExclusive
minInclusive
minExclusive

3.2.7 dateTime

[Definition:]   dateTime represents a specific instant of time. The value space of dateTime is the space of Combinations of date and time of day values as defined in 5.4 of [ISO 8601].

3.2.7.1 Lexical representation

A single lexical representation, which is a subset of the lexical representations allowed by [ISO 8601], is allowed for dateTime. This lexical representation is the [ISO 8601] extended format CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss where "CC" represents the century, "YY" the year, "MM" the month and "DD" the day, preceded by an optional leading "-" sign to indicate a negative number. If the sign is omitted, "+" is assumed. The letter "T" is the date/time separator and "hh", "mm", "ss" represent hour, minute and second respectively. Additional digits can be used to increase the precision of fractional seconds if desired i.e the format ss.ss... with any number of digits after the decimal point is supported. The fractional seconds part is optional; other parts of the lexical form are not optional. To accommodate year values greater than 9999 additional digits can be added to the left of this representation. Leading zeros are required if the year value would otherwise have fewer than four digits; otherwise they are forbidden. The year 0000 is prohibited.

The CCYY field must have at least four digits, the MM, DD, SS, hh, mm and ss fields exactly two digits each (not counting fractional seconds); leading zeroes must be used if the field would otherwise have too few digits.

This representation may be immediately followed by a "Z" to indicate Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) or, to indicate the time zone, i.e. the difference between the local time and Coordinated Universal Time, immediately followed by a sign, + or -, followed by the difference from UTC represented as hh:mm (note: the minutes part is required). See ISO 8601 Date and Time Formats (D) for details about legal values in the various fields. If the time zone is included, both hours and minutes must be present.

For example, to indicate 1:20 pm on May the 31st, 1999 for Eastern Standard Time which is 5 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), one would write: 1999-05-31T13:20:00-05:00.

3.2.7.2 Canonical representation

The canonical representation for dateTime is defined by prohibiting certain options from the Lexical representation (3.2.7.1). Specifically, either the time zone must be omitted or, if present, the time zone must be Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) indicated by a "Z".

3.2.7.3 Order relation on dateTime

In general, the order-relation on dateTime is a partial order since there is no determinate relationship between certain instants. For example, there is no determinate ordering between (a) 2000-01-20T12:00:00 and (b) 2000-01-20T12:00:00Z. Based on timezones currently in use, (c) could vary from 2000-01-20T12:00:00+12:00 to 2000-01-20T12:00:00-13:00. It is, however, possible for this range to expand or contract in the future, based on local laws. Because of this, the following definition uses a somewhat broader range of indeterminate values: +14:00..-14:00.

The following definition uses the notation S[year] to represent the year field of S, S[month] to represent the month field, and so on. The notation (Q & "-14:00") means adding the timezone -14:00 to Q, where Q did not already have a timezone. This is a logical explanation of the process. Actual implementations are free to optimize as long as they produce the same results.

The ordering between two dateTimes P and Q is defined by the following algorithm:

A.Normalize P and Q. That is, if there is a timezone present, but it is not Z, convert it to Z using the addition operation defined in Adding durations to dateTimes (E)

Thus 2000-03-04T23:00:00+03:00 normalizes to 2000-03-04T20:00:00Z

B. If P and Q either both have a time zone or both do not have a time zone, compare P and Q field by field from the year field down to the second field, and return a result as soon as it can be determined. That is:

For each i in {year, month, day, hour, minute, second}
1. If P[i] and Q[i] are both not specified, continue to the next i
2. If P[i] is not specified and Q[i] is, or vice versa, stop and return P <> Q
3. If P[i] < Q[i], stop and return P < Q
4. If P[i] > Q[i], stop and return P > Q
Stop and return P = Q

C.Otherwise, if P contains a time zone and Q does not, compare as follows:

P < Q if P < (Q with time zone +14:00)
P > Q if P > (Q with time zone -14:00)
P <> Q otherwise, that is, if (Q with time zone +14:00) < P < (Q with time zone -14:00)

D. Otherwise, if P does not contain a time zone and Q does, compare as follows:

P < Q if (P with time zone -14:00) < Q.
P > Q if (P with time zone +14:00) > Q.
P <> Q otherwise, that is, if (P with time zone +14:00) < Q < (P with time zone -14:00)

Examples:

Determinate	Indeterminate
2000-01-15T00:00:00 < 2000-02-15T00:00:00	2000-01-01T12:00:00 <> 1999-12-31T23:00:00Z
2000-01-15T12:00:00 < 2000-01-16T12:00:00Z	2000-01-16T12:00:00 <> 2000-01-16T12:00:00Z
	2000-01-16T00:00:00 <> 2000-01-16T12:00:00Z

3.2.7.4 Totally ordered dateTimes

Certain derived types from dateTime can be guaranteed have a total order. To do so, they must require that a specific set of fields are always specified, and that remaining fields (if any) are always unspecified. For example, the date datatype without time zone is defined to contain exactly year, month, and day. Thus dates without time zone have a total order among themselves.

3.2.7.5 Constraining facets

dateTime has the following constraining facets:

pattern
enumeration
whiteSpace
maxInclusive
maxExclusive
minInclusive
minExclusive

3.2.8 time

[Definition:]  time represents an instant of time that recurs every day. The value space of time is the space of time of day values as defined in 5.3 of [ISO 8601]. Specifically, it is a set of zero-duration daily time instances.

Since the lexical representation allows an optional time zone indicator, time values are partially ordered because it may not be able to determine the order of two values one of which has a time zone and the other does not. The order relation on time values is the Order relation on dateTime (3.2.7.3) using an arbitrary date. See also Adding durations to dateTimes (E). Pairs of time values with or without time zone indicators are totally ordered.

3.2.8.1 Lexical representation

The lexical representation for time is the left truncated lexical representation for dateTime: hh:mm:ss.sss with optional following time zone indicator. For example, to indicate 1:20 pm for Eastern Standard Time which is 5 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), one would write: 13:20:00-05:00. See also ISO 8601 Date and Time Formats (D).

3.2.8.2 Canonical representation

The canonical representation for time is defined by prohibiting certain options from the Lexical representation (3.2.8.1). Specifically, either the time zone must be omitted or, if present, the time zone must be Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) indicated by a "Z". Additionally, the canonical representation for midnight is 00:00:00.

3.2.8.3 Constraining facets

time has the following constraining facets:

pattern
enumeration
whiteSpace
maxInclusive
maxExclusive
minInclusive
minExclusive

3.2.9 date

[Definition:]  date represents a calendar date. The value space of date is the set of Gregorian calendar dates as defined in 5.2.1 of [ISO 8601]. Specifically, it is a set of one-day long, non-periodic instances e.g. lexical 1999-10-26 to represent the calendar date 1999-10-26, independent of how many hours this day has.

Since the lexical representation allows an optional time zone indicator, date values are partially ordered because it may not be possible to unequivocally determine the order of two values one of which has a time zone and the other does not. If date values are considered as periods of time, the order relation on date values is the order relation on their starting instants. This is discussed in Order relation on dateTime (3.2.7.3). See also Adding durations to dateTimes (E). Pairs of date values with or without time zone indicators are totally ordered.

3.2.9.1 Lexical representation

The lexical representation for date is the reduced (right truncated) lexical representation for dateTime: CCYY-MM-DD. No left truncation is allowed. An optional following time zone qualifier is allowed as for dateTime. To accommodate year values outside the range from 0001 to 9999, additional digits can be added to the left of this representation and a preceding "-" sign is allowed.

For example, to indicate May the 31st, 1999, one would write: 1999-05-31. See also ISO 8601 Date and Time Formats (D).

3.2.9.2 Constraining facets

date has the following constraining facets:

pattern
enumeration
whiteSpace
maxInclusive
maxExclusive
minInclusive
minExclusive

3.2.10 gYearMonth

[Definition:]   gYearMonth represents a specific gregorian month in a specific gregorian year. The value space of gYearMonth is the set of Gregorian calendar months as defined in 5.2.1 of [ISO 8601]. Specifically, it is a set of one-month long, non-periodic instances e.g. 1999-10 to represent the whole month of 1999-10, independent of how many days this month has.

Since the lexical representation allows an optional time zone indicator, gYearMonth values are partially ordered because it may not be possible to unequivocally determine the order of two values one of which has a time zone and the other does not. If gYearMonth values are considered as periods of time, the order relation on gYearMonth values is the order relation on their starting instants. This is discussed in Order relation on dateTime (3.2.7.3). See also Adding durations to dateTimes (E). Pairs of gYearMonth values with or without time zone indicators are totally ordered.

NOTE: Because month/year combinations in one calendar only rarely correspond to month/year combinations in other calendars, values of this type are not, in general, convertible to simple values corresponding to month/year combinations in other calendars. This type should therefore be used with caution in contexts where conversion to other calendars is desired.

3.2.10.1 Lexical representation

The lexical representation for gYearMonth is the reduced (right truncated) lexical representation for dateTime: CCYY-MM. No left truncation is allowed. An optional following time zone qualifier is allowed. To accommodate year values outside the range from 0001 to 9999, additional digits can be added to the left of this representation and a preceding "-" sign is allowed.

For example, to indicate the month of May 1999, one would write: 1999-05. See also ISO 8601 Date and Time Formats (D).

Specifically, it is a set of one-year long, non-periodic instances e.g. lexical 1999 to represent the whole year 1999, independent of how many months and days this year has.

Since the lexical representation allows an optional time zone indicator, gYear values are partially ordered because it may not be possible to unequivocally determine the order of two values one of which has a time zone and the other does not. If gYear values are considered as periods of time, the order relation on gYear values is the order relation on their starting instants. This is discussed in Order relation on dateTime (3.2.7.3). See also Adding durations to dateTimes (E). Pairs of gYear values with or without time zone indicators are totally ordered.

NOTE: Because years in one calendar only rarely correspond to years in other calendars, values of this type are not, in general, convertible to simple values corresponding to years in other calendars. This type should therefore be used with caution in contexts where conversion to other calendars is desired.

3.2.11.1 Lexical representation

The value space of gMonthDay is the set of calendar dates, as defined in 3 of [ISO 8601]. Specifically, it is a set of one-day long, annually periodic instances.

Since the lexical representation allows an optional time zone indicator, gMonthDay values are partially ordered because it may not be possible to unequivocally determine the order of two values one of which has a time zone and the other does not. If gMonthDay values are considered as periods of time, the order relation on gMonthDay values is the order relation on their starting instants. This is discussed in Order relation on dateTime (3.2.7.3). See also Adding durations to dateTimes (E). Pairs of gMonthDay values with or without time zone indicators are totally ordered.

NOTE: Because day/month combinations in one calendar only rarely correspond to day/month combinations in other calendars, values of this type do not, in general, have any straightforward or intuitive representation in terms of most other calendars. This type should therefore be used with caution in contexts where conversion to other calendars is desired.

3.2.12.1 Lexical representation

This datatype can be used to represent a specific day of the month. To say, for example, that I get my paycheck on the 15th of each month.

Since the lexical representation allows an optional time zone indicator, gDay values are partially ordered because it may not be possible to unequivocally determine the order of two values one of which has a time zone and the other does not. If gDay values are considered as periods of time, the order relation on gDay values is the order relation on their starting instants. This is discussed in Order relation on dateTime (3.2.7.3).

3.2.17 anyURI

[Definition:]   anyURI represents a Uniform Resource Identifier Reference (URI). An anyURI value can be absolute or relative, and may have an optional fragment identifier (i.e., it may be a URI Reference). This type should be used to specify the intention that the value fulfills the role of a URI as defined by [RFC 2396], as amended by [RFC 2732].

The mapping from anyURI values to URIs is as defined in Section 5.4 Locator Attribute of [XML Linking Language] (see also Section 8 Character Encoding in URI References of [Character Model]). This means that a wide range of internationalized resource identifiers can be specified when an anyURI is called for, and still be understood as URIs per [RFC 2396], as amended by [RFC 2732], where appropriate to identify resources.

NOTE: Each URI scheme imposes specialized syntax rules for URIs in that scheme, including restrictions on the syntax of allowed fragement identifiers. Because it is impractical for processors to check that a value is a context-appropriate URI reference, this specification follows the lead of [RFC 2396] (as amended by [RFC 2732]) in this matter: such rules and restrictions are not part of type validity and are not checked by minimally conforming processors. Thus in practice the above definition imposes only very modest obligations on minimally conforming processors.

3.2.17.1 Lexical representation

The lexical space of anyURI is finite-length character sequences which, when the algorithm defined in Section 5.4 of [XML Linking Language] is applied to them, result in strings which are legal URIs according to [RFC 2396], as amended by [RFC 2732].

NOTE: Spaces are, in principle, allowed in the lexical space of anyURI, however, their use is highly discouraged (unless they are encoded by %20).

anyURI has the following constraining facets:

length
minLength
maxLength
pattern
enumeration
whiteSpace

3.2.18 QName

NOTE: The mapping between literals in the lexical space and values in the value space of QName requires a namespace declaration to be in scope for the context in which QName is used.

QName has the following constraining facets:

length
minLength

Schema Component Constraint: enumeration facet value required for NOTATION

It is an error for NOTATION to be used directly in a schema. Only datatypes that are derived from NOTATION by specifying a value for enumeration can be used in a schema.

For compatibility (see Terminology (1.4)) NOTATION should be used only on attributes.

4 Datatype components

The following sections provide full details on the properties and significance of each kind of schema component involved in datatype definitions. For each property, the kinds of values it is allowed to have is specified. Any property not identified as optional is required to be present; optional properties which are not present have absent as their value. Any property identified as a having a set, subset or list value may have an empty value unless this is explicitly ruled out: this is not the same as absent. Any property value identified as a superset or a subset of some set may be equal to that set, unless a proper superset or subset is explicitly called for.

For more information on the notion of datatype (schema) components, see Schema Component Details of [XML Schema Part 1: Structures].

4.1 Simple Type Definition

4.1.1 The Simple Type Definition Schema Component

4.1.2 XML Representation of Simple Type Definition Schema Components

4.1.3 Constraints on XML Representation of Simple Type Definition

4.1.4 Simple Type Definition Validation Rules

4.1.5 Constraints on Simple Type Definition Schema Components

4.1.6 Simple Type Definition for anySimpleType

Simple Type definitions provide for:

Establishing the value space and lexical space of a datatype, through the combined set of constraining facets specified in the definition;
Attaching a unique name (actually a QName) to the value space and lexical space.

4.1.1 The Simple Type Definition Schema Component

The Simple Type Definition schema component has the following properties:

Schema Component: Simple Type Definition

{name}

Optional. An NCName as defined by [Namespaces in XML].

{target namespace}

Either absent or a namespace name, as defined in [Namespaces in XML].

{variety}

One of {atomic, list, union}. Depending on the value of {variety}, further properties are defined as follows:

atomic

{primitive type definition}: A built-in primitive datatype definition (or the simple ur-type definition).

list

{item type definition}: An atomic or union simple type definition.

union

{member type definitions}: A non-empty sequence of simple type definitions.

{facets}

A possibly empty set of Facets (2.4).

{fundamental facets}

A set of Fundamental facets (2.4.1)

{base type definition}

If the datatype has been derived by restriction then the Simple Type Definition component from which it is derived, otherwise the Simple Type Definition for anySimpleType (4.1.6).

{final}

A subset of {restriction, list, union}.

{annotation}

Optional. An annotation.

Datatypes are identified by their {name} and {target namespace}. Except for anonymous datatypes (those with no {name}), datatype definitions must be uniquely identified within a schema.

If {variety} is atomic then the value space of the datatype defined will be a subset of the value space of {base type definition} (which is a subset of the value space of {primitive type definition}). If {variety} is list then the value space of the datatype defined will be the set of finite-length sequence of values from the value space of {item type definition}. If {variety} is union then the value space of the datatype defined will be the union of the value spaces of each datatype in {member type definitions}.

If {variety} is atomic then the {variety} of {base type definition} must be atomic. If {variety} is list then the {variety} of {item type definition} must be either atomic or union. If {variety} is union then {member type definitions} must be a list of datatype definitions.

The value of {facets} consists of the set of facets specified directly in the datatype definition unioned with the possibly empty set of {facets} of {base type definition}.

The value of {fundamental facets} consists of the set of fundamental facets and their values.

If {final} is the empty set then the type can be used in deriving other types; the explicit values restriction, list and union prevent further derivations by restriction, list and union respectively.

4.1.2 XML Representation of Simple Type Definition Schema Components

The XML representation for a Simple Type Definition schema component is a <simpleType> element information item. The correspondences between the properties of the information item and properties of the component are as follows:

XML Representation Summary: simpleType Element Information Item

<simpleType
  final = (#all | (list | union | restriction))
  id = ID
  name = NCName
  {any attributes with non-schema namespace . . .}>
  Content: (annotation?, (restriction | list | union))
</simpleType>

Datatype Definition Schema Component

Property	Representation
{name}	The actual value of the `name`   [attribute], if present, otherwise null
{final}	A set corresponding to the actual value of the `final`   [attribute], if present, otherwise of the actual value of the `finalDefault`   [attribute] the ancestor schema element information item, if present, otherwise the empty string, as follows: the empty string the empty set; `#all` {restriction, list, union}; *otherwise* a set with members drawn from the set above, each being present or absent depending on whether the string contains an equivalently named space-delimited substring. NOTE: Although the `finalDefault`   [attribute] of schema may include values other than restriction, list or union, those values are ignored in the determination of {final}
{target namespace}	The actual value of the `targetNamespace`   [attribute] of the parent `schema` element information item.
{annotation}	The annotation corresponding to the <annotation> element information item in the  [children], if present, otherwise null

A derived datatype can be derived from a primitive datatype or another derived datatype by one of three means: by restriction, by list or by union.

4.1.2.1 Derivation by restriction

XML Representation Summary: restriction Element Information Item

<restriction
  base = QName
  id = ID
  {any attributes with non-schema namespace . . .}>
  Content: (annotation?, (simpleType?, (minExclusive | minInclusive | maxExclusive | maxInclusive | totalDigits | fractionDigits | length | minLength | maxLength | enumeration | whiteSpace | pattern)*))
</restriction>

Simple Type Definition Schema Component

Property	Representation
{variety}	The actual value of {variety} of {base type definition}
{facets}	The union of the set of Facets (2.4) components resolved to by the facet  [children] merged with {facets} from {base type definition}, subject to the Facet Restriction Valid constraints specified in Facets (2.4).
{base type definition}	The Simple Type Definition component resolved to by the actual value of the `base`   [attribute] or the <simpleType>  [children], whichever is present.

Example

An electronic commerce schema might define a datatype called Sku (the barcode number that appears on products) from the built-in datatype string by supplying a value for the pattern facet.

&lt;simpleType name='Sku'&gt;
    &lt;restriction base='string'&gt;
      &lt;pattern value='\d{3}-[A-Z]{2}'/&gt;
    &lt;/restriction&gt;
&lt;/simpleType&gt;

In this case, Sku is the name of the new user-derived datatype, string is its base type and pattern is the facet.

4.1.2.2 Derivation by list

XML Representation Summary: list Element Information Item

<list
  id = ID
  itemType = QName
  {any attributes with non-schema namespace . . .}>
  Content: (annotation?, (simpleType?))
</list>

Simple Type Definition Schema Component

Property	Representation
{variety}	list
{item type definition}	The Simple Type Definition component resolved to by the actual value of the `itemType`   [attribute] or the <simpleType>  [children], whichever is present.

A list datatype must be derived from an atomic or a union datatype, known as the itemType of the list datatype. This yields a datatype whose value space is composed of finite-length sequences of values from the value space of the itemType and whose lexical space is composed of white space separated lists of literals of the itemType.

Example

A system might want to store lists of floating point values.

&lt;simpleType name='listOfFloat'&gt;
  &lt;list itemType='float'/&gt;
&lt;/simpleType&gt;

In this case, listOfFloat is the name of the new user-derived datatype, float is its itemType and list is the derivation method.

As mentioned in List datatypes (2.5.1.2), when a datatype is derived from a list datatype, the following constraining facets can be used:

length
maxLength
minLength
enumeration
pattern
whiteSpace

regardless of the constraining facets that are applicable to the atomic datatype that serves as the itemType of the list.

For each of length, maxLength and minLength, the unit of length is measured in number of list items. The value of whiteSpace is fixed to the value collapse.

4.1.2.3 Derivation by union

XML Representation Summary: union Element Information Item

<union
  id = ID
  memberTypes = List of QName
  {any attributes with non-schema namespace . . .}>
  Content: (annotation?, (simpleType*))
</union>

Simple Type Definition Schema Component

Property Representation

{variety} union

{member type definitions} The sequence of Simple Type Definition components resolved to by the items in the actual value of the memberTypes [attribute], if any, in order, followed by the Simple Type Definition components resolved to by the <simpleType> [children], if any, in order. If {variety} is union for any Simple Type Definition components resolved to above, then the that Simple Type Definition is replaced by its {member type definitions}.

A union datatype can be derived from one or more atomic, list or other union datatypes, known as the memberTypes of that union datatype.

Example

As an example, taken from a typical display oriented text markup language, one might want to express font sizes as an integer between 8 and 72, or with one of the tokens "small", "medium" or "large". The union type definition below would accomplish that.

&lt;xsd:attribute name="size"&gt;
  &lt;xsd:simpleType&gt;
    &lt;xsd:union&gt;
      &lt;xsd:simpleType&gt;
        &lt;xsd:restriction base="xsd:positiveInteger"&gt;
          &lt;xsd:minInclusive value="8"/&gt;
          &lt;xsd:maxInclusive value="72"/&gt;
        &lt;/xsd:restriction&gt;
      &lt;/xsd:simpleType&gt;
      &lt;xsd:simpleType&gt;
        &lt;xsd:restriction base="xsd:NMTOKEN"&gt;
          &lt;xsd:enumeration value="small"/&gt;
          &lt;xsd:enumeration value="medium"/&gt;
          &lt;xsd:enumeration value="large"/&gt;
        &lt;/xsd:restriction&gt;
      &lt;/xsd:simpleType&gt;
    &lt;/xsd:union&gt;
  &lt;/xsd:simpleType&gt;
&lt;/xsd:attribute&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
&lt;font size='large'&gt;A header&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;font size='12'&gt;this is a test&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

As mentioned in Union datatypes (2.5.1.3), when a datatype is derived from a union datatype, the only following constraining facets can be used:

pattern
enumeration

regardless of the constraining facets that are applicable to the datatypes that participate in the union

4.1.3 Constraints on XML Representation of Simple Type Definition

Schema Representation Constraint: Single Facet Value

Unless otherwise specifically allowed by this specification (Multiple patterns (4.3.4.3) and Multiple enumerations (4.3.5.3)) any given constraining facet can only be specifed once within a single derivation step.

Schema Representation Constraint: itemType attribute or simpleType child

Either the itemType   [attribute] or the <simpleType>  [child] of the <list> element must be present, but not both.

Schema Representation Constraint: base attribute or simpleType child

Either the base   [attribute] or the simpleType  [child] of the <restriction> element must be present, but not both.

Schema Representation Constraint: memberTypes attribute or simpleType children

Either the memberTypes   [attribute] of the <union> element must be non-empty or there must be at least one simpleType  [child].

4.1.4 Simple Type Definition Validation Rules

Validation Rule: Facet Valid

A value in a value space is facet-valid with respect to a constraining facet component if:

1 the value is facet-valid with respect to the particular constraining facet as specified below.

Validation Rule: Datatype Valid

A string is datatype-valid with respect to a datatype definition if:

1 it matches a literal in the lexical space of the datatype, determined as follows:

1.1 if pattern is a member of {facets}, then the string must be pattern valid (4.3.4.4);

1.2 if pattern is not a member of {facets}, then

1.2.1 if {variety} is atomic then the string must match a literal in the lexical space of {base type definition}

1.2.2 if {variety} is list then the string must be a sequence of white space separated tokens, each of which matches a literal in the lexical space of {item type definition}

1.2.3 if {variety} is union then the string must match a literal in the lexical space of at least one member of {member type definitions}

2 the value denoted by the literal matched in the previous step is a member of the value space of the datatype, as determined by it being Facet Valid (4.1.4) with respect to each member of {facets} (except for pattern).

4.1.5 Constraints on Simple Type Definition Schema Components

Schema Component Constraint: applicable facets

The constraining facets which are allowed to be members of {facets} are dependent on {base type definition} as specified in the following table:

{base type definition}	applicable {facets}
If {variety} is list, then
[all datatypes]	length, minLength, maxLength, pattern, enumeration, whiteSpace
If {variety} is union, then
[all datatypes]	pattern, enumeration
else if {variety} is atomic, then
string	length, minLength, maxLength, pattern, enumeration, whiteSpace
boolean	pattern, whiteSpace
float	pattern, enumeration, whiteSpace, maxInclusive, maxExclusive, minInclusive, minExclusive
double	pattern, enumeration, whiteSpace, maxInclusive, maxExclusive, minInclusive, minExclusive
decimal	totalDigits, fractionDigits, pattern, whiteSpace, enumeration, maxInclusive, maxExclusive, minInclusive, minExclusive
duration	pattern, enumeration, whiteSpace, maxInclusive, maxExclusive, minInclusive, minExclusive
dateTime	pattern, enumeration, whiteSpace, maxInclusive, maxExclusive, minInclusive, minExclusive

anyURI	length, minLength, maxLength, pattern, enumeration, whiteSpace
QName	length, minLength, maxLength, pattern, enumeration, whiteSpace
NOTATION	length, minLength, maxLength, pattern, enumeration, whiteSpace

Schema Component Constraint: list of atomic

If {variety} is list, then the {variety} of {item type definition}  must be atomic or union.

Schema Component Constraint: no circular unions

If {variety} is union, then it is an error if {name} and {target namespace}  match {name} and {target namespace} of any member of {member type definitions}.

4.1.6 Simple Type Definition for anySimpleType

There is a simple type definition nearly equivalent to the simple version of the ur-type definition present in every schema by definition. It has the following properties:

Schema Component: anySimpleType

{name}: anySimpleType
{target namespace}: http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema
{basetype definition}: the ur-type definition
{final}: the empty set
{variety}: absent

4.2 Fundamental Facets

4.2.1 equal

4.2.2 ordered

4.2.3 bounded

4.2.4 cardinality

4.2.5 numeric

4.2.1 equal

Every value space supports the notion of equality, with the following rules:

for any a and b in the value space, either a is equal to b, denoted a = b, or a is not equal to b, denoted a != b
there is no pair a and b from the value space such that both a = b and a != b
for all a in the value space, a = a
for any a and b in the value space, a = b if and only if b = a
for any a, b and c in the value space, if a = b and b = c, then a = c
for any a and b in the value space if a = b, then a and b cannot be distinguished (i.e., equality is identity)

Note that a consequence of the above is that, given value space  A and value space  B where A and B are not related by restriction or union, for every pair of values a from A and b from B, a != b.

On every datatype, the operation Equal is defined in terms of the equality property of the value space: for any values a, b drawn from the value space, Equal(a,b) is true if a = b, and false otherwise.

NOTE: There is no schema component corresponding to the equal fundamental facet.

4.2.2 ordered

[Definition:]  An order relation on a value space is a mathematical relation that imposes a total order or a partial order on the members of the value space.

[Definition:]  A value space, and hence a datatype, is said to be ordered if there exists an order-relation defined for that value space.

[Definition:]   A partial order is an order-relation that is irreflexive, asymmetric and transitive.

A partial order has the following properties:

for no a in the value space, a < a (irreflexivity)
for all a and b in the value space, a < b implies not(b < a) (asymmetry)
for all a, b and c in the value space, a < b and b < c implies a < c (transitivity)

The notation a <> b is used to indicate the case when a != b and neither a < b nor b < a

[Definition:]   A total order is an partial order such that for no a and b is it the case that a <> b.

A total order has all of the properties specified above for partial order, plus the following property:

for all a and b in the value space, either a < b or b < a or a = b

NOTE: The fact that this specification does not define an order-relation for some datatype does not mean that some other application cannot treat that datatype as being ordered by imposing its own order relation.

ordered provides for:

indicating whether an order-relation is defined on a value space, and if so, whether that order-relation is a partial order or a total order

4.2.2.1 The ordered Schema Component

Schema Component: ordered

{value}: One of {false, partial, total}.

{value} depends on {variety}, {facets} and {member type definitions} in the Simple Type Definition component in which a ordered component appears as a member of {fundamental facets}.

When {variety} is atomic, {value} is inherited from {value} of {base type definition}. For all primitive types {value} is as specified in the table in Fundamental Facets (C.1).

When {variety} is list, {value} is false.

When {variety} is union, if {value} is true for every member of {member type definitions} and all members of {member type definitions} share a common ancestor, then {value} is true; else {value} is false.

4.2.3 bounded

[Definition:]   A value u in an ordered  value space U is said to be an inclusive upper bound of a value space V (where V is a subset of U) if for all v in V, u >= v.

[Definition:]   A value u in an ordered  value space U is said to be an exclusive upper bound of a value space V (where V is a subset of U) if for all v in V, u > v.

[Definition:]   A value l in an ordered  value space L is said to be an inclusive lower bound of a value space V (where V is a subset of L) if for all v in V, l <= v.

[Definition:]   A value l in an ordered  value space L is said to be an exclusive lower bound of a value space V (where V is a subset of L) if for all v in V, l < v.

[Definition:]  A datatype is bounded if its value space has either an inclusive upper bound or an exclusive upper bound and either an inclusive lower bound and an exclusive lower bound.

bounded provides for:

indicating whether a value space is bounded

4.2.3.1 The bounded Schema Component

Schema Component: bounded

{value}: A boolean.

{value} depends on {variety}, {facets} and {member type definitions} in the Simple Type Definition component in which a bounded component appears as a member of {fundamental facets}.

When {variety} is atomic, if one of minInclusive or minExclusive and one of maxInclusive or maxExclusive are among {facets} , then {value} is true; else {value} is false.

When {variety} is list, if length or both of minLength and maxLength are among {facets}, then {value} is true; else {value} is false.

4.2.4 cardinality

[Definition:]  Every value space has associated with it the concept of cardinality. Some value spaces are finite, some are countably infinite while still others could conceivably be uncountably infinite (although no value space defined by this specification is uncountable infinite). A datatype is said to have the cardinality of its value space.

It is sometimes useful to categorize value spaces (and hence, datatypes) as to their cardinality. There are two significant cases:

value spaces that are finite
value spaces that are countably infinite

cardinality provides for:

indicating whether the cardinality of a value space is finite or countably infinite

4.2.4.1 The cardinality Schema Component

Schema Component: cardinality

{value}: One of {finite, countably infinite}.

{value} depends on {variety}, {facets} and {member type definitions} in the Simple Type Definition component in which a cardinality component appears as a member of {fundamental facets}.

When {variety} is atomic and {value} of {base type definition} is finite, then {value} is finite.

When {variety} is atomic and {value} of {base type definition} is countably infinite and either of the following conditions are true, then {value} is finite; else {value} is countably infinite:

one of length, maxLength, totalDigits is among {facets},
all of the following are true:
1. one of minInclusive or minExclusive is among {facets}
2. one of maxInclusive or maxExclusive is among {facets}
3. either of the following are true:
  1. fractionDigits is among {facets}
  2. {base type definition} is one of date, gYearMonth, gYear, gMonthDay, gDay or gMonth or any type derived from them

When {variety} is list, if length or both of minLength and maxLength are among {facets}, then {value} is finite; else {value} is countably infinite.

When {variety} is union, if {value} is finite for every member of {member type definitions}, then {value} is finite; else {value} is countably infinite.

4.2.5 numeric

[Definition:]  A datatype is said to be numeric if its values are conceptually quantities (in some mathematical number system).

[Definition:]  A datatype whose values are not numeric is said to be non-numeric.

numeric provides for:

indicating whether a value space is numeric

4.2.5.1 The numeric Schema Component

Schema Component: numeric

{value}: A boolean

{value} depends on {variety}, {facets}, {base type definition} and {member type definitions} in the Simple Type Definition component in which a cardinality component appears as a member of {fundamental facets}.

When {variety} is atomic, {value} is inherited from {value} of {base type definition}. For all primitive types {value} is as specified in the table in Fundamental Facets (C.1).

When {variety} is list, {value} is false.

When {variety} is union, if {value} is true for every member of {member type definitions}, then {value} is true; else {value} is false.

4.3 Constraining Facets

4.3.1 length

4.3.2 minLength

4.3.3 maxLength

4.3.4 pattern

4.3.5 enumeration

4.3.6 whiteSpace

4.3.7 maxInclusive

4.3.8 maxExclusive

4.3.9 minExclusive

4.3.10 minInclusive

4.3.11 totalDigits

4.3.12 fractionDigits

4.3.1 length

[Definition:]   length is the number of units of length, where units of length varies depending on the type that is being derived from. The value of length must be a nonNegativeInteger.

For string and datatypes derived from string, length is measured in units of characters as defined in [XML 1.0 (Second Edition)]. For anyURI, length is measured in units of characters (as for string). For hexBinary and base64Binary and datatypes derived from them, length is measured in octets (8 bits) of binary data. For datatypes derived by list, length is measured in number of list items.

NOTE: For string and datatypes derived from string, length will not always coincide with "string length" as perceived by some users or with the number of storage units in some digital representation. Therefore, care should be taken when specifying a value for length and in attempting to infer storage requirements from a given value for length.

length provides for:

Constraining a value space to values with a specific number of units of length, where units of length varies depending on {base type definition}.

Example

The following is the definition of a user-derived datatype to represent product codes which must be exactly 8 characters in length. By fixing the value of the length facet we ensure that types derived from productCode can change or set the values of other facets, such as pattern, but cannot change the length.

&lt;simpleType name='productCode'&gt;
   &lt;restriction base='string'&gt;
     &lt;length value='8' fixed='true'/&gt;
   &lt;/restriction&gt;
&lt;/simpleType&gt;

4.3.1.1 The length Schema Component

Schema Component: length

{value}: A nonNegativeInteger.
{fixed}: A boolean.
{annotation}: Optional. An annotation.

If {fixed} is true, then types for which the current type is the {base type definition} cannot specify a value for length other than {value}.

4.3.1.2 XML Representation of length Schema Components

The XML representation for a length schema component is a <length> element information item. The correspondences between the properties of the information item and properties of the component are as follows:

XML Representation Summary: length Element Information Item

<length
  fixed = boolean : false
  id = ID
  value = nonNegativeInteger
  {any attributes with non-schema namespace . . .}>
  Content: (annotation?)
</length>

length Schema Component

Property	Representation
{value}	The actual value of the `value`   [attribute]
{fixed}	The actual value of the `fixed`   [attribute], if present, otherwise false
{annotation}	The annotations corresponding to all the <annotation> element information items in the  [children], if any.

4.3.1.3 length Validation Rules

Validation Rule: Length Valid

A value in a value space is facet-valid with respect to length, determined as follows:

1 if the {variety} is atomic then

1.1 if {primitive type definition} is string, then the length of the value, as measured in characters must be equal to {value};

1.2 if {primitive type definition} is hexBinary or base64Binary, then the length of the value, as measured in octets of the binary data, must be equal to {value};

2 if the {variety} is list, then the length of the value, as measured in list items, must be equal to {value}

4.3.1.4 Constraints on length Schema Components

Schema Component Constraint: length and minLength or maxLength

It is an error for both length and either of minLength or maxLength to be members of {facets}.

Schema Component Constraint: length valid restriction

It is an error if length is among the members of {facets} of {base type definition} and {value} is not equal to the {value} of the parent length.

4.3.2 minLength

[Definition:]   minLength is the minimum number of units of length, where units of length varies depending on the type that is being derived from. The value of minLength  must be a nonNegativeInteger.

For string and datatypes derived from string, minLength is measured in units of characters as defined in [XML 1.0 (Second Edition)]. For hexBinary and base64Binary and datatypes derived from them, minLength is measured in octets (8 bits) of binary data. For datatypes derived by list, minLength is measured in number of list items.

NOTE: For string and datatypes derived from string, minLength will not always coincide with "string length" as perceived by some users or with the number of storage units in some digital representation. Therefore, care should be taken when specifying a value for minLength and in attempting to infer storage requirements from a given value for minLength.

minLength provides for:

Constraining a value space to values with at least a specific number of units of length, where units of length varies depending on {base type definition}.

Example

The following is the definition of a user-derived datatype which requires strings to have at least one character (i.e., the empty string is not in the value space of this datatype).

&lt;simpleType name='non-empty-string'&gt;
  &lt;restriction base='string'&gt;
    &lt;minLength value='1'/&gt;
  &lt;/restriction&gt;
&lt;/simpleType&gt;

4.3.2.1 The minLength Schema Component

Schema Component: minLength

{value}: A nonNegativeInteger.
{fixed}: A boolean.

  id = ID
  value = nonNegativeInteger
  {any attributes with non-schema namespace . . .}>
  Content: (annotation?)
</minLength>

minLength Schema Component

Property	Representation
{value}	The actual value of the `value`   [attribute]
{fixed}	The actual value of the `fixed`   [attribute], if present, otherwise false
{annotation}	The annotations corresponding to all the <annotation> element information items in the  [children], if any.

4.3.2.3 minLength Validation Rules

Validation Rule: minLength Valid

If both minLength and maxLength are members of {facets}, then the {value} of minLength  must be less than or equal to the {value} of maxLength.

Schema Component Constraint: minLength valid restriction

It is an error if minLength is among the members of {facets} of {base type definition} and {value} is less than the {value} of the parent minLength.

4.3.3 maxLength

[Definition:]   maxLength is the maximum number of units of length, where units of length varies depending on the type that is being derived from. The value of maxLength  must be a nonNegativeInteger.

For string and datatypes derived from string, maxLength is measured in units of characters as defined in [XML 1.0 (Second Edition)]. For hexBinary and base64Binary and datatypes derived from them, maxLength is measured in octets (8 bits) of binary data. For datatypes derived by list, maxLength is measured in number of list items.

NOTE: For string and datatypes derived from string, maxLength will not always coincide with "string length" as perceived by some users or with the number of storage units in some digital representation. Therefore, care should be taken when specifying a value for maxLength and in attempting to infer storage requirements from a given value for maxLength.

maxLength provides for:

Constraining a value space to values with at most a specific number of units of length, where units of length varies depending on {base type definition}.

Example

The following is the definition of a user-derived datatype which might be used to accept form input with an upper limit to the number of characters that are acceptable.

&lt;simpleType name='form-input'&gt;
  &lt;restriction base='string'&gt;
    &lt;maxLength value='50'/&gt;

1.2 if {primitive type definition} is hexBinary or base64Binary, then the length of the value, as measured in octets of the binary data, must be less than or equal to {value};

2 if the {variety} is list, then the length of the value, as measured in list items, must be less than or equal to {value}

4.3.3.4 Constraints on maxLength Schema Components

Schema Component Constraint: maxLength valid restriction

It is an error if maxLength is among the members of {facets} of {base type definition} and {value} is greater than the {value} of the parent maxLength.

4.3.4 pattern

[Definition:]   pattern is a constraint on the value space of a datatype which is achieved by constraining the lexical space to literals which match a specific pattern. The value of pattern  must be a regular expression.

pattern provides for:

Constraining a value space to values that are denoted by literals which match a specific regular expression.

Example

The following is the definition of a user-derived datatype which is a better representation of postal codes in the United States, by limiting strings to those which are matched by a specific regular expression.

&lt;simpleType name='better-us-zipcode'&gt;
  &lt;restriction base='string'&gt;
    &lt;pattern value='[0-9]{5}(-[0-9]{4})?'/&gt;
  &lt;/restriction&gt;
&lt;/simpleType&gt;

4.3.4.1 The pattern Schema Component

Schema Component: pattern

{value}: A regular expression.
{annotation}: Optional. An annotation.

4.3.4.2 XML Representation of pattern Schema Components

The XML representation for a pattern schema component is a <pattern> element information item. The correspondences between the properties of the information item and properties of the component are as follows:

XML Representation Summary: pattern Element Information Item

<pattern
  id = ID
  value = anySimpleType
  {any attributes with non-schema namespace . . .}>
  Content: (annotation?)
</pattern>

{value} must be a valid regular expression.

pattern Schema Component

Property	Representation
{value}	The actual value of the `value`   [attribute]
{annotation}	The annotations corresponding to all the <annotation> element information items in the  [children], if any.

4.3.4.3 Constraints on XML Representation of pattern

Schema Representation Constraint: Multiple patterns

If multiple <pattern> element information items appear as  [children] of a <simpleType>, the  [value]s should be combined as if they appeared in a single regular expression as separate branches.

NOTE: It is a consequence of the schema representation constraint Multiple patterns (4.3.4.3) and of the rules for restriction that pattern facets specified on the same step in a type derivation are ORed together, while pattern facets specified on different steps of a type derivation are ANDed together.

Thus, to impose two pattern constraints simultaneously, schema authors may either write a single pattern which expresses the intersection of the two patterns they wish to impose, or define each pattern on a separate type derivation step.

4.3.4.4 pattern Validation Rules

Validation Rule: pattern valid

A literal in a lexical space is facet-valid with respect to pattern if:

1 the literal is among the set of character sequences denoted by the regular expression specified in {value}.

4.3.5 enumeration

[Definition:]   enumeration constrains the value space to a specified set of values.

enumeration does not impose an order relation on the value space it creates; the value of the ordered property of the derived datatype remains that of the datatype from which it is derived.

enumeration provides for:

Constraining a value space to a specified set of values.

Example

The following example is a datatype definition for a user-derived datatype which limits the values of dates to the three US holidays enumerated. This datatype definition would appear in a schema authored by an "end-user" and shows how to define a datatype by enumerating the values in its value space. The enumerated values must be type-valid literals for the base type.

&lt;simpleType name='holidays'&gt;
    &lt;annotation&gt;
        &lt;documentation&gt;some US holidays&lt;/documentation&gt;
    &lt;/annotation&gt;
    &lt;restriction base='gMonthDay'&gt;
      &lt;enumeration value='--01-01'&gt;
        &lt;annotation&gt;
            &lt;documentation&gt;New Year's day&lt;/documentation&gt;
        &lt;/annotation&gt;
      &lt;/enumeration&gt;
      &lt;enumeration value='--07-04'&gt;
        &lt;annotation&gt;
            &lt;documentation&gt;4th of July&lt;/documentation&gt;
        &lt;/annotation&gt;
      &lt;/enumeration&gt;
      &lt;enumeration value='--12-25'&gt;
        &lt;annotation&gt;
            &lt;documentation&gt;Christmas&lt;/documentation&gt;
        &lt;/annotation&gt;
      &lt;/enumeration&gt;
    &lt;/restriction&gt;  
&lt;/simpleType&gt;

  id = ID
  value = anySimpleType
  {any attributes with non-schema namespace . . .}>
  Content: (annotation?)
</enumeration>

4.3.6 whiteSpace

[Definition:]   whiteSpace constrains the value space of types derived from string such that the various behaviors specified in Attribute Value Normalization in [XML 1.0 (Second Edition)] are realized. The value of whiteSpace must be one of {preserve, replace, collapse}.

preserve: No normalization is done, the value is not changed (this is the behavior required by [XML 1.0 (Second Edition)] for element content)
replace: All occurrences of #x9 (tab), #xA (line feed) and #xD (carriage return) are replaced with #x20 (space)
collapse: After the processing implied by replace, contiguous sequences of #x20's are collapsed to a single #x20, and leading and trailing #x20's are removed.

NOTE: The notation #xA used here (and elsewhere in this specification) represents the Universal Character Set (UCS) code point hexadecimal A (line feed), which is denoted by U+000A. This notation is to be distinguished from &#xA;, which is the XML character reference to that same UCS code point.

whiteSpace is applicable to all atomic and list datatypes. For all atomic datatypes other than string (and types derived by restriction from it) the value of whiteSpace is collapse and cannot be changed by a schema author; for string the value of whiteSpace is preserve; for any type derived by restriction from string the value of whiteSpace can be any of the three legal values. For all datatypes derived by list the value of whiteSpace is collapse and cannot be changed by a schema author. For all datatypes derived by union  whiteSpace does not apply directly; however, the normalization behavior of union types is controlled by the value of whiteSpace on that one of the memberTypes against which the union is successfully validated.

NOTE: For more information on whiteSpace, see the discussion on white space normalization in Schema Component Details in [XML Schema Part 1: Structures].

whiteSpace provides for:

Constraining a value space according to the white space normalization rules.

Example

The following example is the datatype definition for the token built-in  derived datatype.

&lt;simpleType name='token'&gt;
    &lt;restriction base='normalizedString'&gt;
      &lt;whiteSpace value='collapse'/&gt;

The XML representation for a minInclusive schema component is a <minInclusive> element information item. The correspondences between the properties of the information item and properties of the component are as follows:

XML Representation Summary: minInclusive Element Information Item

<minInclusive
  fixed = boolean : false
  id = ID
  value = anySimpleType
  {any attributes with non-schema namespace . . .}>
  Content: (annotation?)
</minInclusive>

{value} must be in the value space of {base type definition}.

minInclusive Schema Component

Property	Representation
{value}	The actual value of the `value`   [attribute]
{fixed}	The actual value of the `fixed`   [attribute], if present, otherwise false
{annotation}	The annotations corresponding to all the <annotation> element information items in the  [children], if any.

4.3.10.3 minInclusive Validation Rules

Validation Rule: minInclusive Valid

A value in an ordered value space is facet-valid with respect to minInclusive if:

1 if the numeric property in {fundamental facets} is true, then the value must be numerically greater than or equal to {value};

2 if the numeric property in {fundamental facets} is false (i.e., {base type definition} is one of the date and time related datatypes), then the value must be chronologically greater than or equal to {value};

4.3.10.4 Constraints on minInclusive Schema Components

Schema Component Constraint: minInclusive < maxExclusive

It is an error for the value specified for minInclusive to be greater than or equal to the value specified for maxExclusive for the same datatype.

Schema Component Constraint: minInclusive valid restriction

It is an error if any of the following conditions is true:

1 minInclusive is among the members of {facets} of {base type definition} and {value} is less than the {value} of the parent minInclusive

2 maxInclusive is among the members of {facets} of {base type definition} and {value} is greater the {value} of the parent maxInclusive

3 minExclusive is among the members of {facets} of {base type definition} and {value} is less than or equal to the {value} of the parent minExclusive

4 maxExclusive is among the members of {facets} of {base type definition} and {value} is greater than or equal to the {value} of the parent maxExclusive

4.3.11 totalDigits

[Definition:]   totalDigits is the maximum number of digits in values of datatypes derived from decimal. The value of totalDigits must be a positiveInteger.

totalDigits provides for:

Constraining a value space to values with a specific maximum number of decimal digits (#x30-#x39).

Example

The following is the definition of a user-derived datatype which could be used to represent monetary amounts, such as in a financial management application which does not have figures of $1M or more and only allows whole cents. This definition would appear in a schema authored by an "end-user" and shows how to define a datatype by specifying facet values which constrain the range of the base type in a manner specific to the base type (different than specifying max/min values as before).

&lt;simpleType name='amount'&gt;
  &lt;restriction base='decimal'&gt;
    &lt;totalDigits value='8'/&gt;
    &lt;fractionDigits value='2' fixed='true'/&gt;
  &lt;/restriction&gt;
&lt;/simpleType&gt;

4.3.11.1 The totalDigits Schema Component

Schema Component: totalDigits

{value}: A positiveInteger.
{fixed}: A boolean.
{annotation}: Optional. An annotation.

If {fixed} is true, then types for which the current type is the {base type definition} cannot specify a value for totalDigits other than {value}.

4.3.11.2 XML Representation of totalDigits Schema Components

The XML representation for a totalDigits schema component is a <totalDigits> element information item. The correspondences between the properties of the information item and properties of the component are as follows:

XML Representation Summary: totalDigits Element Information Item

<totalDigits
  fixed = boolean : false
  id = ID
  value = positiveInteger
  {any attributes with non-schema namespace . . .}>
  Content: (annotation?)
</totalDigits>

totalDigits Schema Component

Property	Representation
{value}	The actual value of the `value`   [attribute]
{fixed}	The actual value of the `fixed`   [attribute], if present, otherwise false
{annotation}	The annotations corresponding to all the <annotation> element information items in the  [children], if any.

4.3.11.3 totalDigits Validation Rules

Validation Rule: totalDigits Valid

A value in a value space is facet-valid with respect to totalDigits if:

1 the number of decimal digits in the value is less than or equal to {value};

4.3.11.4 Constraints on totalDigits Schema Components

Schema Component Constraint: totalDigits valid restriction

It is an error if totalDigits is among the members of {facets} of {base type definition} and {value} is greater than the {value} of the parent totalDigits

4.3.12 fractionDigits

[Definition:]   fractionDigits is the maximum number of digits in the fractional part of values of datatypes derived from decimal. The value of fractionDigits  must be a nonNegativeInteger .

fractionDigits provides for:

Constraining a value space to values with a specific maximum number of decimal digits in the fractional part.

Example

The following is the definition of a user-derived datatype which could be used to represent the magnitude of a person's body temperature on the Celsius scale. This definition would appear in a schema authored by an "end-user" and shows how to define a datatype by specifying facet values which constrain the range of the base type.

&lt;simpleType name='celsiusBodyTemp'&gt;
  &lt;restriction base='decimal'&gt;
    &lt;totalDigits value='4'/&gt;
    &lt;fractionDigits value='1'/&gt;
    &lt;minInclusive value='36.4'/&gt;
    &lt;maxInclusive value='40.5'/&gt;
  &lt;/restriction&gt;
&lt;/simpleType&gt;

4.3.12.1 The fractionDigits Schema Component

Schema Component: fractionDigits

{value}: A nonNegativeInteger.
{fixed}: A boolean.
{annotation}: Optional. An annotation.

If {fixed} is true, then types for which the current type is the {base type definition} cannot specify a value for fractionDigits other than {value}.

4.3.12.2 XML Representation of fractionDigits Schema Components

      The schema corresponding to this document is normative,
      with respect to the syntactic constraints it expresses in the
      XML Schema language.  The documentation (within &amp;lt;documentation&gt;
      elements) below, is not normative, but rather highlights important
      aspects of the W3C Recommendation of which this is a part
    &lt;/xs:documentation&gt;
  &lt;/xs:annotation&gt;

  &lt;xs:annotation&gt;
    &lt;xs:documentation&gt;
      First the built-in primitive datatypes.  These definitions are for
      information only, the real built-in definitions are magic.  Note in
      particular that there is no type named 'anySimpleType'.  The
      primitives should really be derived from no type at all, and
      anySimpleType should be derived as a union of all the primitives.
    &lt;/xs:documentation&gt;

    &lt;xs:documentation&gt;
      For each built-in datatype in this schema (both primitive and
      derived) can be uniquely addressed via a URI constructed
      as follows:
        1) the base URI is the URI of the XML Schema namespace
        2) the fragment identifier is the name of the datatype
        
      For example, to address the int datatype, the URI is:
      
        http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#int
      
      Additionally, each facet definition element can be uniquely
      addressed via a URI constructed as follows:
        1) the base URI is the URI of the XML Schema namespace
        2) the fragment identifier is the name of the facet
        
      For example, to address the maxInclusive facet, the URI is:
      
        http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#maxInclusive

      Additionally, each facet usage in a built-in datatype definition
      can be uniquely addressed via a URI constructed as follows:
        1) the base URI is the URI of the XML Schema namespace
        2) the fragment identifier is the name of the datatype, followed
           by a period (".") followed by the name of the facet
        
      For example, to address the usage of the maxInclusive facet in
      the definition of int, the URI is:
      
        http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#int.maxInclusive

D ISO 8601 Date and Time Formats

D.1 ISO 8601 Conventions

The primitive datatypes duration, dateTime, time, date, gYearMonth, gMonthDay, gDay, gMonth and gYear use lexical formats inspired by [ISO 8601]. This appendix provides more detail on the ISO formats and discusses some deviations from them for the datatypes defined in this specification.

[ISO 8601] "specifies the representation of dates in the proleptic Gregorian calendar and times and representations of periods of time". The proleptic Gregorian calendar includes dates prior to 1582 (the year it came into use as an ecclesiastical calendar). It should be pointed out that the datatypes described in this specification do not cover all the types of data covered by [ISO 8601], nor do they support all the lexical representations for those types of data.

[ISO 8601] lexical formats are described using "pictures" in which characters are used in place of digits. For the primitive datatypes dateTime, time, date, gYearMonth, gMonthDay, gDay, gMonth and gYear. these characters have the following meanings:

C -- represents a digit used in the thousands and hundreds components, the "century" component, of the time element "year". Legal values are from 0 to 9.
Y -- represents a digit used in the tens and units components of the time element "year". Legal values are from 0 to 9.
M -- represents a digit used in the time element "month". The two digits in a MM format can have values from 1 to 12.
D -- represents a digit used in the time element "day". The two digits in a DD format can have values from 1 to 28 if the month value equals 2, 1 to 29 if the month value equals 2 and the year is a leap year, 1 to 30 if the month value equals 4, 6, 9 or 11, and 1 to 31 if the month value equals 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10 or 12.
h -- represents a digit used in the time element "hour". The two digits in a hh format can have values from 0 to 23.
m -- represents a digit used in the time element "minute". The two digits in a mm format can have values from 0 to 59.
s -- represents a digit used in the time element "second". The two digits in a ss format can have values from 0 to 60. In the formats described in this specification the whole number of seconds may be followed by decimal seconds to an arbitrary level of precision. This is represented in the picture by "ss.sss". A value of 60 or more is allowed only in the case of leap seconds.

Strictly speaking, a value of 60 or more is not sensible unless the month and day could represent March 31, June 30, September 30, or December 31 in UTC. Because the leap second is added or subtracted as the last second of the day in UTC time, the long (or short) minute could occur at other times in local time. In cases where the leap second is used with an inappropriate month and day it, and any fractional seconds, should considered as added or subtracted from the following minute.

For all the information items indicated by the above characters, leading zeros are required where indicated.

In addition to the above, certain characters are used as designators and appear as themselves in lexical formats.

T -- is used as time designator to indicate the start of the representation of the time of day in dateTime.
Z -- is used as time-zone designator, immediately (without a space) following a data element expressing the time of day in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) in dateTime, time, date, gYearMonth, gMonthDay, gDay, gMonth, and gYear.

In the lexical format for duration the following characters are also used as designators and appear as themselves in lexical formats:

P -- is used as the time duration designator, preceding a data element representing a given duration of time.
Y -- follows the number of years in a time duration.
M -- follows the number of months or minutes in a time duration.
D -- follows the number of days in a time duration.
H -- follows the number of hours in a time duration.
S -- follows the number of seconds in a time duration.

The values of the Year, Month, Day, Hour and Minutes components are not restricted but allow an arbitrary integer. Similarly, the value of the Seconds component allows an arbitrary decimal. Thus, the lexical format for duration and datatypes derived from it does not follow the alternative format of 5.5.3.2.1 of [ISO 8601].

D.2 Truncated and Reduced Formats

[ISO 8601] supports a variety of "truncated" formats in which some of the characters on the left of specific formats, for example, the century, can be omitted. Truncated formats are, in general, not permitted for the datatypes defined in this specification with three exceptions. The time datatype uses a truncated format for dateTime which represents an instant of time that recurs every day. Similarly, the gMonthDay and gDay datatypes use left-truncated formats for date. The datatype gMonth uses a right and left truncated format for date.

[ISO 8601] also supports a variety of "reduced" or right-truncated formats in which some of the characters to the right of specific formats, such as the time specification, can be omitted. Right truncated formats are also, in general, not permitted for the datatypes defined in this specification with the following exceptions: right-truncated representations of dateTime are used as lexical representations for date, gMonth, gYear.

D.3 Deviations from ISO 8601 Formats

D.3.1 Sign Allowed

D.3.2 No Year Zero

D.3.3 More Than 9999 Years

D.3.1 Sign Allowed

An optional minus sign is allowed immediately preceding, without a space, the lexical representations for duration, dateTime, date, gMonth, gYear.

D.3.2 No Year Zero

The year "0000" is an illegal year value.

D.3.3 More Than 9999 Years

To accommodate year values greater than 9999, more than four digits are allowed in the year representations of dateTime, date, gYearMonth, and gYear. This follows [ISO 8601 Draft Revision].

E Adding durations to dateTimes

Given a dateTime S and a duration D, this appendix specifies how to compute a dateTime E where E is the end of the time period with start S and duration D i.e. E = S + D. Such computations are used, for example, to determine whether a dateTime is within a specific time period. This appendix also addresses the addition of durations to the datatypes date, gYearMonth, gYear, gDay and gMonth, which can be viewed as a set of dateTimes. In such cases, the addition is made to the first or starting dateTime in the set.

This is a logical explanation of the process. Actual implementations are free to optimize as long as they produce the same results. The calculation uses the notation S[year] to represent the year field of S, S[month] to represent the month field, and so on. It also depends on the following functions:

fQuotient(a, b) = the greatest integer less than or equal to a/b
- fQuotient(-1,3) = -1
- fQuotient(0,3)...fQuotient(2,3) = 0
- fQuotient(3,3) = 1
- fQuotient(3.123,3) = 1
modulo(a, b) = a - fQuotient(a,b)*b
- modulo(-1,3) = 2
- modulo(0,3)...modulo(2,3) = 0...2
- modulo(3,3) = 0
- modulo(3.123,3) = 0.123
fQuotient(a, low, high) = fQuotient(a - low, high - low)
- fQuotient(0, 1, 13) = -1
- fQuotient(1, 1, 13) ... fQuotient(12, 1, 13) = 0
- fQuotient(13, 1, 13) = 1
- fQuotient(13.123, 1, 13) = 1
modulo(a, low, high) = modulo(a - low, high - low) + low
- modulo(0, 1, 13) = 12
- modulo(1, 1, 13) ... modulo(12, 1, 13) = 1...12
- modulo(13, 1, 13) = 1
- modulo(13.123, 1, 13) = 1.123
maximumDayInMonthFor(yearValue, monthValue) =
- M := modulo(monthValue, 1, 13)
- Y := yearValue + fQuotient(monthValue, 1, 13)
- Return a value based on M and Y:

31	M = January, March, May, July, August, October, or December
30	M = April, June, September, or November
29	M = February AND (modulo(Y, 400) = 0 OR (modulo(Y, 100) != 0) AND modulo(Y, 4) = 0)
28	Otherwise

E.1 Algorithm

Essentially, this calculation is equivalent to separating D into <year,month> and <day,hour,minute,second> fields. The <year,month> is added to S. If the day is out of range, it is pinned to be within range. Thus April 31 turns into April 30. Then the <day,hour,minute,second> is added. This latter addition can cause the year and month to change.

Leap seconds are handled by the computation by treating them as overflows. Essentially, a value of 60 seconds in S is treated as if it were a duration of 60 seconds added to S (with a zero seconds field). All calculations thereafter use 60 seconds per minute.

Thus the addition of either PT1M or PT60S to any dateTime will always produce the same result. This is a special definition of addition which is designed to match common practice, and -- most importantly -- be stable over time.

A definition that attempted to take leap-seconds into account would need to be constantly updated, and could not predict the results of future implementation's additions. The decision to introduce a leap second in UTC is the responsibility of the [International Earth Rotation Service (IERS)]. They make periodic announcements as to when leap seconds are to be added, but this is not known more than a year in advance. For more information on leap seconds, see [U.S. Naval Observatory Time Service Department].

The following is the precise specification. These steps must be followed in the same order. If a field in D is not specified, it is treated as if it were zero. If a field in S is not specified, it is treated in the calculation as if it were the minimum allowed value in that field, however, after the calculation is concluded, the corresponding field in E is removed (set to unspecified).

Months (may be modified additionally below)
- temp := S[month] + D[month]
- E[month] := modulo(temp, 1, 13)
- carry := fQuotient(temp, 1, 13)
Years (may be modified additionally below)
- E[year] := S[year] + D[year] + carry
Zone
- E[zone] := S[zone]
Seconds
- temp := S[second] + D[second]
- E[second] := modulo(temp, 60)
- carry := fQuotient(temp, 60)

Examples:

dateTime	duration	result
2000-01-12T12:13:14Z	P1Y3M5DT7H10M3.3S	2001-04-17T19:23:17.3Z
2000-01	-P3M	1999-10
2000-01-12	PT33H	2000-01-13

E.2 Commutativity and Associativity

Time durations are added by simply adding each of their fields, respectively, without overflow.

The order of addition of durations to instants is significant. For example, there are cases where:

((dateTime + duration1) + duration2) != ((dateTime + duration2) + duration1)

Example:

(2000-03-30 + P1D) + P1M = 2000-03-31 + P1M = 2001-04-30

(2000-03-30 + P1M) + P1D = 2000-04-30 + P1D = 2000-05-01

F Regular Expressions

A regular expression R is a sequence of characters that denote a set of strings  L(R). When used to constrain a lexical space, a regular expression  R asserts that only strings in L(R) are valid literals for values of that type.

[Definition:]  A regular expression is composed from zero or more branches, separated by | characters.

Regular Expression

[1]  regExp  ::=  branch ( '|' branch )*

For all branches S, and for all regular expressions T, valid regular expressions R are:	Denoting the set of strings L(R) containing:
(empty string)	the set containing just the empty string
S	all strings in L(S)
S\|T	all strings in L(S) and all strings in L(T)

[Definition:]   A branch consists of zero or more pieces, concatenated together.

Branch

[2]  branch  ::=  piece*

For all pieces S, and for all branches T, valid branches R are:	Denoting the set of strings L(R) containing:
S	all strings in L(S)
ST	all strings st with s in L(S) and t in L(T)

[Definition:]   A piece is an atom, possibly followed by a quantifier.

Piece

[3]  piece  ::=  atom quantifier?

For all atoms S and non-negative integers n, m such that n <= m, valid pieces R are:	Denoting the set of strings L(R) containing:
S	all strings in L(S)
S?	the empty string, and all strings in L(S).
S*	All strings in L(S?) and all strings st with s in L(S)* and t in L(S). ( all concatenations of zero or more strings from L(S) )
S+	All strings st with s in L(S) and t in L(S). ( all concatenations of one or more strings from L(S) )*
S{n,m}	All strings st with s in L(S) and t in L(S{n-1,m-1}). ( All sequences of at least n, and at most m, strings from L(S) )
S{n}	All strings in L(S{n,n}). ( All sequences of exactly n strings from L(S) )
S{n,}	All strings in L(S{n}S) ( All sequences of at least n, strings from L(S) )*
S{0,m}	All strings st with s in L(S?) and t in L(S{0,m-1}). ( All sequences of at most m, strings from L(S) )
S{0,0}	The set containing only the empty string

NOTE: The regular expression language in the Perl Programming Language [Perl] does not include a quantifier of the form S{,m), since it is logically equivalent to S{0,m}. We have, therefore, left this logical possibility out of the regular expression language defined by this specification. We welcome further input from implementors and schema authors on this issue.

[Definition:]   A quantifier is one of ?, *, +, {n,m} or {n,}, which have the meanings defined in the table above.

Quanitifer

`[4]   `	`quantifier`	`   ::=   `	`[?*+] \| ( '{' quantity '}' )`
`[5]   `	`quantity`	`   ::=   `	`quantRange \| quantMin \| QuantExact`
`[6]   `	`quantRange`	`   ::=   `	`QuantExact ',' QuantExact`
`[7]   `	`quantMin`	`   ::=   `	`QuantExact ','`
`[8]   `	`QuantExact`	`   ::=   `	`[0-9]+`

[Definition:]   An atom is either a normal character, a character class, or a parenthesized regular expression.

Atom

[9]  atom  ::=  Char | charClass | ( '(' regExp ')' )

For all normal characters c, character classes C, and regular expressions S, valid atoms R are:	Denoting the set of strings L(R) containing:
c	the single string consisting only of c
C	all strings in L(C)
(S)	all strings in L(S)

[Definition:]   A metacharacter is either ., \, ?, *, +, {, } (, ), [ or ]. These characters have special meanings in regular expressions, but can be escaped to form atoms that denote the sets of strings containing only themselves, i.e., an escaped metacharacter behaves like a normal character.

[Definition:]   A normal character is any XML character that is not a metacharacter. In regular expressions, a normal character is an atom that denotes the singleton set of strings containing only itself.

Normal Character

[10]  Char  ::=  [^.\?*+()|#x5B#x5D]

Note that a normal character can be represented either as itself, or with a character reference.

F.1 Character Classes

[Definition:]   A character class is an atom  R that identifies a set of characters  C(R). The set of strings L(R) denoted by a character class R contains one single-character string "c" for each character c in C(R).

Character Class

[11]  charClass  ::=  charClassEsc | charClassExpr

A character class is either a character class escape or a character class expression.

[Definition:]   A character class expression is a character group surrounded by [ and ] characters. For all character groups G, [G] is a valid character class expression, identifying the set of characters C([G]) = C(G).

Character Class Expression

[12]  charClassExpr  ::=  '[' charGroup ']'

[Definition:]   A character group is either a positive character group, a negative character group, or a character class subtraction.

Character Group

[13]  charGroup  ::=  posCharGroup | negCharGroup | charClassSub

[Definition:]   A positive character group consists of one or more character ranges or character class escapes, concatenated together. A positive character group identifies the set of characters containing all of the characters in all of the sets identified by its constituent ranges or escapes.

Positive Character Group

[14]  posCharGroup  ::=  ( charRange | charClassEsc )+

For all character ranges R, all character class escapes E, and all positive character groups P, valid positive character groups G are:	Identifying the set of characters C(G) containing:
R	all characters in C(R).
E	all characters in C(E).
RP	all characters in C(R) and all characters in C(P).
EP	all characters in C(E) and all characters in C(P).

[Definition:]   A negative character group is a positive character group preceded by the ^ character. For all positive character groups P, ^P is a valid negative character group, and C(^P) contains all XML characters that are not in C(P).

Negative Character Group

[15]  negCharGroup  ::=  '^' posCharGroup

[Definition:]   A character class subtraction is a character class expression subtracted from a positive character group or negative character group, using the - character.

Character Class Subtraction

[16]  charClassSub  ::=  ( posCharGroup | negCharGroup ) '-' charClassExpr

For any positive character group or negative character group G, and any character class expression C, G-C is a valid character class subtraction, identifying the set of all characters in C(G) that are not also in C(C).

[Definition:]   A character range R identifies a set of characters C(R) containing all XML characters with UCS code points in a specified range.

Character Range

`[17]   `	`charRange`	`   ::=   `	`seRange \| XmlCharRef \| XmlCharIncDash`
`[18]   `	`seRange`	`   ::=   `	`charOrEsc '-' charOrEsc`
`[19]   `	`XmlCharRef`	`   ::=   `	`( '&#' [0-9]+ ';' ) \| (' &#x' [0-9a-fA-F]+ ';' )`
`[20]   `	`charOrEsc`	`   ::=   `	`XmlChar \| SingleCharEsc`
`[21]   `	`XmlChar`	`   ::=   `	`[^\#x2D#x5B#x5D]`
`[22]   `	`XmlCharIncDash`	`   ::=   `	`[^\#x5B#x5D]`

A single XML character is a character range that identifies the set of characters containing only itself. All XML characters are valid character ranges, except as follows:

The [, ], and \ characters are not valid character ranges;
The ^ character is only valid at the beginning of a positive character group if it is part of a negative character group; and
The - character is a valid character range only at the beginning or end of a positive character group.

A character range may also be written in the form s-e, identifying the set that contains all XML characters with UCS code points greater than or equal to the code point of s, but not greater than the code point of e.

s-e is a valid character range iff:

s is a single character escape, or an XML character;
s is not \
If s is the first character in a character class expression, then s is not ^
e is a single character escape, or an XML character;
e is not \ or [; and
The code point of e is greater than or equal to the code point of s;

NOTE: The code point of a single character escape is the code point of the single character in the set of characters that it identifies.

F.1.1 Character Class Escapes

[Definition:]   A character class escape is a short sequence of characters that identifies predefined character class. The valid character class escapes are the single character escapes, the multi-character escapes, and the category escapes (including the block escapes).

Character Class Escape

[23]  charClassEsc  ::=  ( SingleCharEsc | MultiCharEsc | catEsc | complEsc )

[Definition:]   A single character escape identifies a set containing a only one character -- usually because that character is difficult or impossible to write directly into a regular expression.

Single Character Escape

[24]  SingleCharEsc  ::=  '\' [nrt\|.?*+(){}#x2D#x5B#x5D#x5E]

The valid single character escapes are:	Identifying the set of characters C(R) containing:
`\n`	the newline character (#xA)
`\r`	the return character (#xD)
`\t`	the tab character (#x9)
`\\`	\
`\\|`	\|
`\.`	.
`\-`	-
`\^`	^
`\?`	?
`\*`	*
`\+`	+
`\{`	{
`\}`	}
`\(`	(
`\)`	)
`\[`	[
`\]`	]

[Definition:]   [Unicode Database] specifies a number of possible values for the "General Category" property and provides mappings from code points to specific character properties. The set containing all characters that have property X, can be identified with a category escape \p{X}. The complement of this set is specified with the category escape \P{X}. ([\P{X}] = [^\p{X}]).

Category Escape

`[25]   `	`catEsc`	`   ::=   `	`'\p{' charProp '}'`
`[26]   `	`complEsc`	`   ::=   `	`'\P{' charProp '}'`
`[27]   `	`charProp`	`   ::=   `	`IsCategory \| IsBlock`

NOTE: [Unicode Database] is subject to future revision. For example, the mapping from code points to character properties might be updated. All minimally conforming processors must support the character properties defined in the version of [Unicode Database] that is current at the time this specification became a W3C Recommendation. However, implementors are encouraged to support the character properties defined in any future version.

The following table specifies the recognized values of the "General Category" property.

Category	Property	Meaning
Letters	L	All Letters
	Lu	uppercase
	Ll	lowercase
	Lt	titlecase
	Lm	modifier
	Lo	other

Marks	M	All Marks
	Mn	nonspacing
	Mc	spacing combining
	Me	enclosing

Numbers	N	All Numbers
	Nd	decimal digit
	Nl	letter
	No	other

Punctuation	P	All Punctuation
	Pc	connector
	Pd	dash
	Ps	open
	Pe	close
	Pi	initial quote (may behave like Ps or Pe depending on usage)
	Pf	final quote (may behave like Ps or Pe depending on usage)
	Po	other

Separators	Z	All Separators
	Zs	space

Categories

`[28]   `	`IsCategory`	`   ::=   `	`Letters \| Marks \| Numbers \| Punctuation \| Separators \| Symbols \| Others`
`[29]   `	`Letters`	`   ::=   `	`'L' [ultmo]?`
`[30]   `	`Marks`	`   ::=   `	`'M' [nce]?`
`[31]   `	`Numbers`	`   ::=   `	`'N' [dlo]?`
`[32]   `	`Punctuation`	`   ::=   `	`'P' [cdseifo]?`
`[33]   `	`Separators`	`   ::=   `	`'Z' [slp]?`
`[34]   `	`Symbols`	`   ::=   `	`'S' [mcko]?`
`[35]   `	`Others`	`   ::=   `	`'C' [cfon]?`

NOTE: The properties mentioned above exclude the Cs property. The Cs property identifies "surrogate" characters, which do not occur at the level of the "character abstraction" that XML instance documents operate on.

[Definition:]   [Unicode Database] groups code points into a number of blocks such as Basic Latin (i.e., ASCII), Latin-1 Supplement, Hangul Jamo, CJK Compatibility, etc. The set containing all characters that have block name X (with all white space stripped out), can be identified with a block escape \p{IsX}. The complement of this set is specified with the block escape \P{IsX}. ([\P{IsX}] = [^\p{IsX}]).

Block Escape

[36]  IsBlock  ::=  'Is' [a-zA-Z0-9#x2D]+

The following table specifies the recognized block names (for more information, see the "Blocks.txt" file in [Unicode Database]).

NOTE: [Unicode Database] is subject to future revision. For example, the grouping of code points into blocks might be updated. All minimally conforming processors must support the blocks defined in the version of [Unicode Database] that is current at the time this specification became a W3C Recommendation. However, implementors are encouraged to support the blocks defined in any future version of the Unicode Standard.

For example, the block escape for identifying the ASCII characters is \p{IsBasicLatin}.

[Definition:]   A multi-character escape provides a simple way to identify a commonly used set of characters:

Multi-Character Escape

[37]  MultiCharEsc  ::=  '.' | ('\' [sSiIcCdDwW])

Character sequence	Equivalent character class
.	[^\n\r]
\s	[#x20\t\n\r]
\S	[^\s]
\i	the set of initial name characters, those matched by Letter \| '_' \| ':'
\I	[^\i]
\c	the set of name characters, those matched by NameChar
\C	[^\c]
\d	\p{Nd}
\D	[^\d]
\w	[#x0000-#x10FFFF]-[\p{P}\p{Z}\p{C}] (all characters except the set of "punctuation", "separator" and "other" characters)
\W	[^\w]

NOTE: The regular expression language defined here does not attempt to provide a general solution to "regular expressions" over UCS character sequences. In particular, it does not easily provide for matching sequences of base characters and combining marks. The language is targeted at support of "Level 1" features as defined in [Unicode Regular Expression Guidelines]. It is hoped that future versions of this specification will provide support for "Level 2" features.

G Glossary (non-normative)

The listing below is for the benefit of readers of a printed version of this document: it collects together all the definitions which appear in the document above.

atomic: Atomic datatypes are those having values which are regarded by this specification as being indivisible.
base type: Every datatype that is derived by restriction is defined in terms of an existing datatype, referred to as its base type. base types can be either primitive or derived.
bounded: A datatype is bounded if its value space has either an inclusive upper bound or an exclusive upper bound and either an inclusive lower bound and an exclusive lower bound.
built-in: Built-in datatypes are those which are defined in this specification, and can be either primitive or derived;
canonical lexical representation: A canonical lexical representation is a set of literals from among the valid set of literals for a datatype such that there is a one-to-one mapping between literals in the canonical lexical representation and values in the value space.
cardinality: Every value space has associated with it the concept of cardinality. Some value spaces are finite, some are countably infinite while still others could conceivably be uncountably infinite (although no value space defined by this specification is uncountable infinite). A datatype is said to have the cardinality of its value space.
conformance to the XML Representation of Schemas: Processors which accept schemas in the form of XML documents as described in XML Representation of Simple Type Definition Schema Components (4.1.2) (and other relevant portions of Datatype components (4)) are additionally said to provide conformance to the XML Representation of Schemas, and must, when processing schema documents, completely and correctly implement all Schema Representation Constraints in this specification, and must adhere exactly to the specifications in XML Representation of Simple Type Definition Schema Components (4.1.2) (and other relevant portions of Datatype components (4)) for mapping the contents of such documents to schema components for use in validation.
constraining facet: A constraining facet is an optional property that can be applied to a datatype to constrain its value space.
Constraint on Schemas: Constraint on Schemas
datatype: In this specification, a datatype is a 3-tuple, consisting of a) a set of distinct values, called its value space, b) a set of lexical representations, called its lexical space, and c) a set of facets that characterize properties of the value space, individual values or lexical items.
derived: Derived datatypes are those that are defined in terms of other datatypes.
error: error
exclusive lower bound: A value l in an ordered  value space L is said to be an exclusive lower bound of a value space V (where V is a subset of L) if for all v in V, l < v.
exclusive upper bound: A value u in an ordered  value space U is said to be an exclusive upper bound of a value space V (where V is a subset of U) if for all v in V, u > v.
facet: A facet is a single defining aspect of a value space. Generally speaking, each facet characterizes a value space along independent axes or dimensions.
for compatibility: for compatibility
fundamental facet: A fundamental facet is an abstract property which serves to semantically characterize the values in a value space.
inclusive lower bound: A value l in an ordered  value space L is said to be an inclusive lower bound of a value space V (where V is a subset of L) if for all v in V, l <= v.
inclusive upper bound: A value u in an ordered  value space U is said to be an inclusive upper bound of a value space V (where V is a subset of U) if for all v in V, u >= v.
itemType: The atomic datatype that participates in the definition of a list datatype is known as the itemType of that list datatype.
lexical space: A lexical space is the set of valid literals for a datatype.
list: List datatypes are those having values each of which consists of a finite-length (possibly empty) sequence of values of an atomic datatype.
match: match
may: may
memberTypes: The datatypes that participate in the definition of a union datatype are known as the memberTypes of that union datatype.
minimally conforming: Minimally conforming processors must completely and correctly implement the Constraint on Schemas and Validation Rule .
must: must
non-numeric: A datatype whose values are not numeric is said to be non-numeric.
numeric: A datatype is said to be numeric if its values are conceptually quantities (in some mathematical number system).
ordered: A value space, and hence a datatype, is said to be ordered if there exists an order-relation defined for that value space.
order-relation: An order relation on a value space is a mathematical relation that imposes a total order or a partial order on the members of the value space.
partial order: A partial order is an order-relation that is irreflexive, asymmetric and transitive.
primitive: Primitive datatypes are those that are not defined in terms of other datatypes; they exist ab initio.
regular expression: A regular expression is composed from zero or more branches, separated by | characters.
restriction: A datatype is said to be derived by restriction from another datatype when values for zero or more constraining facets are specified that serve to constrain its value space and/or its lexical space to a subset of those of its base type.
Schema Representation Constraint: Schema Representation Constraint
total order: A total order is an partial order such that for no a and b is it the case that a <> b.
union: Union datatypes are those whose value spaces and lexical spaces are the union of the value spaces and lexical spaces of one or more other datatypes.
user-derived: User-derived datatypes are those derived datatypes that are defined by individual schema designers.
Validation Rule: Validation Rule
value space: A value space is the set of values for a given datatype. Each value in the value space of a datatype is denoted by one or more literals in its lexical space.
